Agar-agar jelly
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. First of all, I'm happy to tell you that the recipe for making jelly with agar-agar is almost identical to the method used with gelatin. So why have we chosen agar-agar specifically? The answer is very simple: in some ways, it surpasses gelatin in quality. Personally, my main reason is that agar-agar has no unpleasant odor or taste. But that's not all—agar is entirely plant-based (meaning it can be used during fasting periods), and it consists mainly of dietary fiber, thus effectively helping to remove toxins from the body. And if you think that's where we'll stop, you're greatly mistaken: agar-agar sets much faster than gelatin and doesn't melt at room temperature. I don't know about you, but I couldn't resist such a strong list of advantages, and I've started using this excellent gelatin substitute. Now I'd like to share with you a simple recipe for agar-agar jelly using fresh fruits and juice. The finished dessert is ready to be served.

Step 1
First of all, we pour a small amount of cold juice over the agar-agar and leave it to swell.

Step 2
This process takes several hours, so it's best to leave it overnight.

Step 3
Now take one of the remaining juices (in our case, orange), pour it into a saucepan and place over heat. When the juice comes to a boil, add the swollen agar and bring to a boil again, stirring well, and cook until the agar is completely dissolved.

As you may have noticed, there's absolutely nothing complicated here; the main thing is to boil the agar thoroughly, then it will set better. And this is the lovely result we end up with.
